The video tutorial explains how to determine the limit of a sequence using the limit at infinity of a function. It analyzes the behavior of the numerator and denominator separately, leading to an indeterminate form. L'Hôpital's Rule is applied to resolve this, showing that the sequence converges to zero. A graph is used to verify this conclusion, demonstrating that as more terms are generated, their values approach zero.
